Living Your Sparked Second Half
Education:Self-Improvement
EP258: In today's episode I share a recent experience where I made an assumption that was totally incorrect about my husband. As you listen, let it be a reminder to you to always be aware of how your thoughts about a situation or person may in fact be absolutely incorrect, even if you don't believe them to be.
The definition of assumption is "a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof." But we THINK we have proof b/c we think our thoughts are fact.
How could your life improve if you began questioning your thoughts and giving others the benefit of the doubt?
Listen in as I share 5 tips that will improve the quality of your relationships and likely decrease conflict if you apply them when catching yourself in an assuming state of mind.
Here is the blog post I referenced on the episode: https://motherhoodcommunity.com/how-to-stop-making-assumptions-in-life-relationships-work/
And here is the quote I shared from Don Miguel Ruiz in his book "The Four Agreements" that I felt was so on point with this topic:
"We have the tendency to make assumptions about everything. The problem with making assumptions is that we believe they are the truth. We could swear they are real. We make assumptions about what others are doing or thinking - we take it personally - and then blame them and react by sending emotional poison with our word."
